Title: Changes to the Requirements for Claimant Representation 
Abstract:

We propose to make changes to the requirements for representing claimants. Specifically, we plan to impose a deadline(s) on when representatives must file their fee petitions and all supporting documents and to prohibit representatives from merely stating their intent to file. We also propose to require the use of a prescribed form (SSA-1696) from all representatives who are or wish to be appointed as a representative. Additionally, we propose to change educational requirements for direct pay non-attorney representatives.
